Mucha maven

This very artistic pen pal always includes some kind of doodle or artwork on her letters, sometimes all the way down to a watercolor envelope... this time she treated me to artwork in the style of Alphonse Mucha's 1898 painting "Dance."

Under the dancing lady, you can see the lovely butterflies that adorned the envelope.

Gnome with butterfly stamp

This fine stamp came from a correspondent in the Netherlands. Is there a story behind this, I wonder, or is it just a cute little gnome sitting on a branch, reaching out to a butterfly? I can't read the words that are on their side by Priority.

Butterfly glitter

I loved these stickers that came on the back of an envelope, and I actually managed to photograph them so that you can see the glitter and metallic gold in them.
